I am making a new symetrical and very small map and there is not very much room for many power weapons and I cant decide what to throw in. can you guys give me a list of what you think are essential power weapons?

Grenade Launcher.

grenade launcher
sniper
rockets
shotgun

Those are the 4 that I feel are good power weapons to have on a map. Maybe not all 4 if its a smaller map. Maybe just 2 different power weapons. I would say grenade launcher and rockets for a smaller map.

I would probably like grenade launcher and rocket most likely because they wouldnt be too overpowered on the map. but wouldnt that be a problem with all power weapons being explosive?

True, you could just go one or the other.
I am not sure but I think that you might be able to through down shotgun closer to the grenade launcher to help out on that side.

If not that then maybe some DMRs or NR further away from the rockets to give those who don't have it some distance between them.

Personally, if it's a more vertically oriented map, I would go Grenade launcher and Shotty/Hammer. If it's a generally level map, I would go Rockets/PL, Sword, Sniper/FR.

Its generally flat with one thick bridge going through it. and a few lightly elevated parts but the bridge is taller. the map has a large amount of cover so i am afraid a grenade launcher might be innefective

If that's the case, then you'll really want to put something on that bridge that people want. a sword would probably do the trick, seeing as people also have to be prepared when they go out, as they cant really fight their way out in ranged combat with it. If you want to throw the map up on you're fileshare, id be happy to take a look at it when I get the chance.

The grenade launcher could be a good weapon then if their is a lot of cover.

I do like the input of UnknownChrunchy. He does have some good points. If you need people to test your map let me know. I will play it and let you know what I think of the weapons. I will get a few friends to play and see what they have to say about it.

alrighty its still in its concept stages so dont be alarmed at how much of a template it is. BTW i put the rocket on the bridge.(which is in the center)its the one thing that I am sure about putting but i feel that when I put another power weapon on it it either gets to cramped to the rocket or gets to close to the initial spawn

That's not a problem. Not always, but the longer you spend laying down the framework and layout of the map, the better it ends up playing.

I think the rocket on the center of an elevated bridge is a good idea.

I think you could, if you want put a grenade launcher and something like the sword on the other side of the map.
That will create a few different place of major conflicts and the beginning of the game.
